Obituary

Thelma Jennings, 88, went to be with the Lord on Monday, May 4, 2020.
She is survived by her son, Jay Jennings: daughter, Brenda Reid: sister, Dorothy Wright: several nieces
and nephews including one of her brothers that had 14 boys: several cousins as well: very close
family friends, which are her prayer warriors. Predeceased where her father of grace and integrity
and quiet lovable mother as well as more than 12 sisters and brothers, and a few nieces and nephews,
as well as a great nephew.
She was a member of several Baptist Churches as she moved around, playing a role in the choir as well as
serving on the usher board. Held weekly prayer devotions as an active member in her home
throughout the years. She grew up on the Word of God(Bible) and passed it on to whoever would
listen. She was a mighty 'Prayer Warrior' for many and an inspiration with a great listening ear
or shoulder to cry on for all, including coworkers, family, and friends. She truly had a love for
people. This was a very compassionate lady, spreading her wisdom to all from an early age and
planting seeds to whoever crossed her path.
Miss 'T' (Teacher) mentored all ages, teaching them all subjects on her grandmother's front
porch, as a teenager. When her grandmother was bedridden, she cared for her, taking on the
responsibility of a caregiver as a young teenager. She raised two other children before having
two of her own. Teaching all of them Godly values and morals that is much needed today.
Mrs. Jennings started her career in the medical field, working in various hospitals and clinics, she
ended her medical career as a laboratory specialist. Her last multi-career move was as a Postal
Clerk in which she retired.
May her soul rest in peace, forever. She was loved by so many and will be greatly missed by
those lives that were deeply touched by her. She is now present with the Lord Jesus Christ our
merciful Savior.
A special thanks to the Rehabilitation Center that cared for her the last year and a half. It was
when God used her the most. Also, to her prayer warriors that would visit every Saturday,
praying miracle after miracle that she would get better, in which she did. And to all her
caregivers these last few years, who knew how to take care of the elderly. They certainly
prolonged her life. To all the family and friends who came and visited her while she was at home
and in rehab in her last few years. May God Bless all of you.
Expression from JJ and Brenda,
We give thanks for our mother who did nurture and influence our lives in positive ways.
Throughout history, the motherly role is one of honor and respect. We honored and respected
mom, for she did help nourish and mold our lives through her loving support, wisdom, and
encouragement. She was our role model and did inspire and guide us to express our God-given
talents and abilities.
We give thanks to our LORD and Savior for her wisdom, guidance, strength, and love. They are
all wonderful, unique expressions of God's love

That's our Mama!
"Honor thy father and mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee" Exodus 20:12
Expression from JJ,
I remember Mama in a happy way especially for Mother's day, which was my favorite holiday.
I also remember her in so many special beautiful ways. From a single mother, who was married
to my dad, Reverend JC Jennings. May they both rest in peace. Mama was a true trooper.
